For what it's worth, SVG 1.1 already says "Authors should" always include a top-level title element. - http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements It serves the same purpose as the title of an HTML page when you view the SVG in a browser without any accessibility tools. As Charles said, that means it is the default bookmark. It also shows up in your browser tab or window title, so it's easy to find. When the SVG is embedded within other web pages, the top-level title is currently inaccessible for non-AT users -- except for inline SVG, where there are cross-browser differences about whether or not it is shown as a tooltip (Firefox does, others don't).
